One way to think about this might be to write -6 as (-1)(6).
Then (-6)(9) = (-1)(6)(9)
But you know that 6 x 9 is 54, so this is equal to (-1)(54). That's clearly -54.

A positive and a negative number multiplied by each other is a negative number. 6 times 9 is 54 so -6 times 9 is -54
or -6(9) = (-6)+(-6)+(-6)+(-6)+(-6)+(-6)+(-6)+(-6)+(-6)
= (-12)+(-12)+(-12)+(-12)+(-6)
=(-24)+(-24)+(-6)
=(-48)+(-6)
=-54

-54. The six is negative and the nine is positive. A positive mutiplied by a negative yields a negative. A negative times a negative yields a positive. If the numbers were (-6)(-9) then the answer would just be 54

Keep in mind that parentheses are used to indicate multiplication in the world of math.
In other words, (-6) (9) = -6 x 9 = -54

A positive times a negative is always a negative. Therefore, the answer is - 54.
